Yield: 4

Author: Rachel Aust

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 50 MinTotal time: 1 Hour

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 560 grams ground beef, at least 90% lean
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 453 grams sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• ½ scotch bonnet pepper, seeds and ribs removed
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• ½ cup roasted peanuts
• ½ cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
• 1 (794-gram) can crushed tomatoes
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
• 3 cups chopped green cabbage, packed
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon.
3. Season with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes or until the beef is nicely browned.
4. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set it aside.
5. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot. Add the diced sweet potato and sauté for 3 minutes before adding the onion.
6. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes or until the sweet potato softens and browns.
7. Add the chili pepper, garlic, ginger, cumin, and most of the roasted peanuts—Reserve some of the peanuts to use as a garnish.
8. Stir in the peanut butter, followed by the tomatoes and stock. You may want to use a whisk to prevent lumps of peanut butter.
9. Bring to a boil, then return the beef to the pot.
10. Roughly chop the cabbage and add it in as well.
11. Reduce the stew to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
12. Ladle into bowls, top each serving with peanuts and cilantro, then serve.
